About the Role

This is a hands-on hardware role. You'll be physically moving, powering up, connecting, and exercising full radar systems — two large equipment chassis (200+ lbs each) with external peripherals — and using our software interface to confirm every part of the system is healthy before it moves to the next stage of test. When you find a bad part, you'll log it, get it replaced through our production team, and keep the unit moving. You are the person who makes sure nothing ships broken and that test never stalls. You do not need a radar, RF, or software-engineering background. You need to be methodical, physically capable, comfortable with hardware and basic test tools, and reliable about documentation and communication. We'll teach you the radar.

Responsibilities:

Move and stage systems. Safely transport radar chassis (200+ lbs, with mechanical assistance/lift equipment) into and out of the test area, and set them up in the test configuration. Power up and bring online. Fully power up a radar system, connect all power, network, and signal interfaces, and bring the system to an operational state following documented procedures. Check out all peripherals. Connect and verify every external module and interface on the system — point-to-point (P2P) dishes, compass/heading module, network upload, satellite (Starlink) connectivity, 5G modem, UPS, and other I/O — confirming each functions correctly. Operate the radar UI for health and status. Use our software interface to read system health and status, identify whether anything is wrong, and determine pass/fail against the test procedure — no coding required, but comfort navigating software tools is a must. Track exactly what you're testing. Keep diligent, accurate records of which serialized unit and configuration you're working on and what step it's at. Serial-number and configuration discipline is critical. Log defects and drive replacement. When you find a bad part or a failed interface, log it in our production/defecttracking system, communicate clearly with the production team to get the part replaced, and keep the unit progressing through test. Keep the line moving. Coordinate with engineers and production so testing doesn't stall waiting on parts, equipment, or information. Flag blockers early. Maintain a clean, organized, safe test area. Manage cables, equipment, and the work space; follow ESD and electrical-safety practices.

Why this role matters:

Testing is the gate every radar passes through before it reaches the field. As we scale, the test team is the difference between shipping fast and shipping broken. This role takes the heavy, hands-on system-checkout work off the engineers' plates so the whole line runs faster — you'll directly enable us to qualify more systems than the company ever 1 has.

Minimum Requirements:

Associate degree in electronics/electrical technology, or equivalent military electronics/avionics training, trade school, or hands-on work experience. 2+ years in an electronics manufacturing, test, integration, or equipment-maintenance environment (military/field maintenance experience counts). Hands-on comfort assembling, connecting, and disassembling hardware using common hand tools. Comfortable connecting and troubleshooting electrical and signal interfaces (cables, connectors, network, power) and reading basic diagrams/procedures. Comfortable operating software/computer interfaces to run tests and read status (you'll learn ours; you don't need to write code). Diligent documentation habits — accurate logging of serial numbers, configurations, test results, and defects. Clear communicator — able to coordinate with production and engineering to move parts and resolve blockers. Able to safely lift/move heavy equipment with mechanical assistance, and to stand and work with hardware for extended periods. Detail-oriented, methodical, and reliable about following procedures exactly.

Preferred Requirements:

Experience in a regulated/defense/aerospace hardware environment. Familiarity with RF systems, antennas, networking, or power systems at a hands-on level. IPC-A-610, IPC J-STD-001, or ETA CET certification (or willingness to earn). Experience with defect-tracking / MES / production systems (e.g., serialized unit tracking). ESD-controlled environment experience. Comfort with Linux or command-line tools (we use them, but we'll train). Active security clearance.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
